Hey Everyone!
So this is my food blog. Some of my friends have suggested that I make one because apparently I'm not too shabby with cooking and baking. When I asked my mom if I should make a food blog her response was, "Yeah! So many people blog now!" Soooo OBVIOUSLY I'm making one now.
I guess I should give a little history as to why I started cooking. Well I'm not one of those people who grew up with "old family recipes" or whatever. My mom is a preheater and did not make anything from scratch... I mean shit if I had 3 kids (especially 3 kids like us) I wouldn't even think about cooking something that took longer than 20minutes to make. The only home cooking I experienced from my direct family was on Sundays when my dad would make his mystery chicken, which basically was just chicken tenderloins and a ton of different spices... he use to open up the spice cabinet and say "We have way too many spices and we don't use any of them." So obviously let's dump 5 different spices that don't work together and make chicken.
I started cooking 5 years ago when I was a freshman in college. I went to this really boring college in central Ohio where is was overcast for 75% of the year and I slept about 16hrs/day. Luckily I peaced the eff out at the end of the year and transferred to the greatest college ever, UNC-Chapel Hill. Anywho, so during lunch every day freshman year, I would grab food from the cafeteria, go back to my dorm room and watch TV while I ate. As everyone probably knows, there is NOTHING good on TV around noon so I started watching the Food Network (it was either that or soap operas). Everyday I found myself coming back to my dorm to watch Ina Garten, who I'd like to say taught me everything I know about cooking via TV. So Ina's catchphrase is "How easy was that?!" and I'd watch and think to myself "Eff, this shit does look easy!" During school vacas, I would come home and try to master this skill that I assumed I naturally had, which I found at first I did NOT have. To make a long story short, I taught myself how to cook and bake in the true fashion everyone my age learns everything, from watching TV and googling anything and everything.
Soooo since this is my blog I'm going to explain what I plan on doing with this load of crap:
1- This will only be about cooking, especially my cooking. This will NOT have anything to do with my life or random events I go to or anything like that. Not saying blogs about your life are bad or lame, I just don't care and don't expect you guys to care either.
2- The majority of the recipes I use come from somewhere/someone else (don't worry I'll give credit to the sources) and then I adjust them to what I think is better to make them mine. And yes I am qualified to do that because I'm awesome.
3- I'm going to try and make the majority of these posts step-by-step so my cooking impaired friends could possibly learn something from this or for my bored friends to do something at work that isn't work. Also, I'll try and add cooking tips to bring out my inner Ina.
If anyone wants me to make something specific then feel free to reach out to me. ALSO, would like to give a shout out to Garland "Geege" Potts for making my blog look so cool. If you want her to work on yours just hit me or her up. I hope everyone likes my blog and learns something from it!
Peace out,
Liz
